摘要
Relaxin, which may be an important hormone in pregnancy, is stimulated by human chorionic gonadotropin. The exact role of relaxin in pregnancy is not completely defined, but it is known to be secreted by the corpus luteum, and its target areas in women are the uterine cervix, the myometrium, the endometrium, and the decidua. Abnormal relaxin levels have been associated with complications of pregnancy, and thus the precise role of relaxin in pregnancy needs to be a priority for further research.
